Contract Overview

JWCC NEXT is the followon to the DoD’s enterprise cloud contract, expanding multicloud capabilities, crossdomain security, and tactical edge computing. With an estimated $9 billion ceiling, JWCC NEXT will be central to DoD’s cloud modernization roadmap and support global operations across DDIL (Disconnected, Disrupted, Intermittent, Limited) environments.

The vehicle builds on the current JWCC awards held by AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle, while opening new subcontracting and integration opportunities for cloud engineering, cybersecurity, and missionspecific solutions.

JWCC NEXT is expected to introduce expanded service catalogs and enhanced support for tactical edge and OCONUS operations.
